A great story. A good recording. The voice was easily understood.

This was a wonderful, uplifting story.

Excellent book


(4 stars)

The book is amazing. I appreciate the effort the reader put in - she emanates a love for the story and characters - but a slight lisp, a bit of a whine, and rushed reading put a damper on the experience. I would recommend slowing down the playback speed to enjoy it more fully. I did prefer this reading to the other option on Librivox, which has an assortment of readers.

This book from my youth was referenced in a novel. As I listened I wondered if I got the connection to nature. I think it may have been seeds planted. I listened from a different place. I thoroughly enjoyed.
